Apollo 11 beta cloth patch flown to the lunar surface during the Apollo 11 mission and presented to Apollo 13 astronaut Jack Swigert. Beta cloth patches were designed as commemorative pieces to carry along the mission in a material made of fire proof material woven from Teflon fibers. Circular patch features various mission emblems including an eagle landing on the moon's surface carrying an olive branch. Patch measures 3.25'' in diameter and is matted to an overall size of 20.5'' x 10.5'' with two photos of the Apollo astronauts on the surface of the moon and captions, ''This emblem carried to the lunar surface / July 20, 1969'' and below, ''Presented to Jack Swigert in appreciation for your service to Apollo 11 / From Neil, Mike & Buzz.'' Some tape residue to lower caption, else near fine overall. With an LOA from Swigert's sister.
